Boys and girls styles are all made to melt your heart as well as serve your health. The Pally is a Mary Jane style with sporty look for $60. The Rooty in baby blue is dapper and charming, also $60.

I know it's summer and we are just starting to enjoy the warm weather but this is the time to shop for Fall essentials. You need boots, I live in LA and my tots needed boots in the winter, and these Pepe Boots are stylish and on sale. Yes, that is the best part. But that's not the only reason to get them. These are easy to wear with everything, comfortable and has a rubber sole which is an absolute requirement for winter shoes. The pepe brown leather boots were $189 and are now $132.30. The cream white boots were $165, now $115.50 and I like them more!

Pediped is having their sale again and once again, they are donating 50% of the sale prices to Make-A-Wish Foundation. If there ever was a win-win, this is it! Cute, comfortable shoes on sale and your money spent goes to charity. Done and done. The Josh in Navy/White/Gray (Flex) is now only $22 and the Sam in Neapolitan Stripes is also $22. These colors are perfect for the summer.

all the color schemes this season are a mix with purple. It is beyond fabulous and perfectly vibrant fOr tots. This floral print incorporates rich tones of green folliage with accents of deep purple to create a rich and bold feel that I cannot get enough of. Jean Bourget is always a favorite for tiny fashionistas, this summer dress has matching flip flops that you just cannot, must not, pass up. And it is now on sale so you have no excuses. Beach Green Floral Print Dress, originally $74, now $59.20. The Beach Kid Purple Flip Flops was $28, now $22.40.

We got the April showers so now we can enjoy May flowers, and your busy bee can buzz around looking perfect picking flowers in these Primigi Bee Mary Jane with darling bees and daisies. These are exceptionally well made shoes, so no matter how rough your tot is on her shoes, these will hold up. They are comfortable, easy to put on and take off and have well padded soles. And if you have not tried Endless, let me just say how much I am in love with their service. The range and diversity of styles is mind boggling and although you can't try things on, they ship everything for free AND pay for return shipping if the shoe doesn't fit (I do this all the time!). USP comes to my house almost everyday, so I just tape it back up and give it back. Fun and easy! Primigi Bee Mary Jane at Endless.com for $59.95.

New styles from Pediped! It is always a celebration for me because I seriously cannot get enough of these shoes. The new ballerina style, Penny ($32) is an easy favorite, and makes the perfect gift. This style also comes in the toddler Flex line.

Pediped is the only shoe line that consistently have shoes for boys that are as cute as the girls. Like the Adrian($48) in the Flex line, is a sneaker style with the DRYZ® technology insole AND get this, this leather shoe is machine washable!!! That is crazy genius!!! I love the mesh, keeps sweaty feet cool! Also available in Brown and Navy.

D'Orsay for tots? Yes, of course. Little shoe snobs appreciate designer styles as much as their grown up counterparts (aka moms). The Anya ($45) in the Flex line is a Mary Jane with a twist, the sides have a v-cut out to give a slender lady-like look. Ohh-la-la!!! Also in pink.

I love the color combination of the Brady ($32). It is part athlete and part fashionisto, which means, it will go with everything he is wearing. These are great for infants who cannot keep a true sandal on the feet. Also in Navy & White and Chocolate Brown & Tan.

I have become such a huge fan of Zappos for buying shoes for tots. Shoes are difficult for us grown ups, especially women, because it is all about fit and how it looks on the foot. But for Tots, everything looks adorable and it's just about getting the right size. There is such a huge selection to choose from but best of all, the free shipping both ways (in case you news to return) is a convenience parents need! I picked a few styles of sandals for boys that you will want to stock up on. I love the shopping options as well, you can select size, color and/or style to narrowed the selection. The prices are also the lowest retail you will find. A definite win win that is much appreciated by this shoe snob!
